If one's ability to calculate can be rated on a scale of 100, then Bai Yaxin would score around 85. From the moment he entered the Wanlanshan Group, he constantly thought about how to climb to the top position.
Bai Yaxin is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals. Perhaps the phrase "by any means necessary" doesn't sound too severe, but it depends on who it's applied to. For a kindergarten child, even if they were to employ such means, they wouldn't be able to accomplish much. But for Bai Yaxin, it's different.
For example, as a student, if one wants to rank first in the class, how would they go about it? It's simple. Eliminate all the other students in the class. That's it. Hahaha.
Usually, a normal person wouldn't consider such methods, but Bai Yaxin did. During his student days, he contemplated such actions. Fortunately, he never acted upon them. However, please don't misunderstand, the reason he didn't do it wasn't due to moral reasons, but rather because it was impractical and the outcome wouldn't have matched his expectations.
Yes, Bai Yaxin is crazy, but he is also rational. As a combination of rationality and madness, Bai Yaxin is formidable.
Bai Yaxin's academic performance during his student years belonged to the top tier. When necessary, he would use certain methods to secure the top spot in his year. Through this process, Bai Yaxin accumulated connections with some shady individuals in society.
Since stepping into this gray area of society, Bai Yaxin never left. It wasn't an unconscious or unwitting entrapment, but a voluntary transformation of this gray power into his own tool, knowing the consequences.
Whether he successfully turned it into a tool or got trapped in it cannot be judged based on the present moment. After several years with the Wanlanshan Group, Bai Yaxin finally reached the position of second in command.
However, just like the law that states the first place will be remembered while the second one will remain unknown, being the second in command is an awkward position. His goal seemed just within reach, but there remained an obstacle, Uminari Manranyama.
No, not only Uminari Manranyama, but also Souren Manranyama, who always opposed him. Bai Yaxin, Bai Xuyu; Uminari Manranyama, Souren Manranyama. It may seem like they are two pairs of father and daughter, but in reality, only Uminari Manranyama and Souren Manranyama can be considered as such. Bai Yaxin and Bai Xuyu...
For Bai Yaxin, Bai Xuyu was simply an unexpected result. It might be useful to cultivate her a bit, that's all. In Bai Yaxin's eyes, the Wanlanshan father and daughter were clumsy, and precisely because they were clumsy, he saw an opportunity.
That's why there was the recent incident at the warehouse in the outskirts of Kyoto. Everything was planned by Bai Yaxin, from Souren Manranyama receiving the information to the failure of finding evidence, the dispute between Souren Manranyama and Uminari Manranyama, and Souren Manranyama being expelled from the Wanlanshan family...
Great. Now, there's only Uminari Manranyama left between him and his final goal. Bai Yaxin thought this way. But after several cautious attempts, he finally saw the reality. Uminari Manranyama was an insurmountable wall that no matter what means or determination Bai Yaxin had, he couldn't overcome.Wanlan Mountain Group, out of reach.
This was the conclusion Bai Yaxin came to in the end.
In the spacious office, Bai Yaxin, who was already middle-aged but had silver hair, looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows at the bustling lights of Kyoto, quietly contemplating.
It was time to break free from the gray area and start engaging in legitimate business ventures that could gain recognition.
To leave the Wanlan Mountain Group, run his own business, and then defeat him.
